After a mutation at a genetic locus the character of an organism changes due to the change in

1. protein structure
2. DNA replication
3. protein synthesis pattern
4. RNA transcription pattern

Correct answer: protein structure

Solution

A mutation changes the DNA sequence, which may alter the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein. Since protein structure determines function, a change in protein structure can produce a changed character in the organism.
